    摘要: A system for suppressing transmission channel noise in a signal transmission/reception device—particularly a time division duplex (TDD) wireless communications device—is provided. The system provides one or more shunt elements, instantiated at some point along the device's signal transmission channel. One or more attenuation elements are also instantiated at some point along the signal transmission channel, as are one or more disabling elements. A trigger signal indicates when the device is shifting from signal transmission operation (or mode) to signal reception operation. Responsive to assertion of the trigger signal, the shunt, attenuation and disabling elements are activated.

    摘要: A Class S RF power amplifier for use in a radio frequency (RF) transmitter. The Class S power amplifier comprises a delta-sigma modulator that receives an analog modulated RF carrier and generates a pulse-width modulated binary signal. The Class S power amplifier also comprises a switch mode power amplifier that receives the pulse-width modulated binary signal generated by the delta-sigma modulator and generates an output carrier signal that switches between a fully on state and a fully off state. The sampling rate of the delta-sigma modulator is less than four times the frequency of the output carrier signal generated by the switch mode power amplifier.

    摘要: A reconfigurable RF transceiver for use in either a base station or a mobile station Of a wireless network. The reconfigurable RF transceiver comprises a first receive path that down-converts an incoming RF signal to analog and digital baseband signals. The first receive path in a first mode down-converts the incoming RF signal in a receive frequency band for the base station and in a second mode down-converts the incoming RF signal in a receive frequency band for the mobile station. The reconfigurable RF transceiver further comprises a transmit path for up-converting an outgoing baseband signal to an outgoing RF signal. The transmit path in the first mode up-converts the outgoing baseband signal in a transmit frequency band for the base station and in the second mode up-converts the outgoing baseband signal in a transmit frequency band for the mobile station.

    摘要: A reconfigurable wireless transceiver and method of use are disclosed. As one example, a reconfigurable wireless transceiver is disclosed, which includes a transmitter unit, a plurality of receiver units, and a processing unit coupled to the plurality of receiver units. A first receiver unit of the plurality of receiver units receives a first signal at a first frequency, and determines a strength level of the first signal. A second receiver unit of the plurality of receiver units searches for a second signal at a second frequency, detects the second signal at the second frequency, and determines a strength level of the detected second signal. The processing unit determines if the strength level of the detected second signal is greater than a predetermined value, and enables the second receiver unit to receive a third signal at substantially the second frequency, if the strength level of the detected second signal is greater than the predetermined value. The predetermined value may be substantially equal to the signal strength of the received first signal, and the third signal may be associated with over-the-air programming or tasking. As a second example, a method for reconfiguring a wireless transceiver is disclosed, which includes receiving a first signal in a first frequency band, determining a signal strength of the received signal, searching for a second signal in a second frequency band, detecting the second signal, determining a signal strength of the detected second signal, comparing the signal strength of the received first signal with a predetermined signal strength value, and enabling reception of the detected second signal and disabling reception of the first signal, if the signal strength of the detected second signal is greater than the predetermined signal strength value.

    摘要: A multimode/multiband mobile station and a method for operating the same are provided. A transmission module transmits multimode/multiband signals through transmitters. A reception module receives radio signals for different services of the same frequency band among multimode/multiband signals through receivers for the same frequency band, and receives radio signals of different frequency bands among the multimode/multiband signals through receivers for the different frequency bands. As compared with the conventional mobile station, the multimode/multiband mobile station can reduce the number of receivers by making use of one receiver to receive radio signals for different services of the same frequency band. The multimode/multiband mobile station can use a duplexer of the conventional frequency division duplex (FDD) technique (e.g., wideband code division multiple access (WCDMA)) in a time division duplex (TDD) technique (e.g., Global System for Mobile Communication (GSM) 850 or Personal Communication Service (PCS) 1900).

    摘要: An architecture for a receiver component in a wireless communications system is disclosed—one that supports both zero intermediate frequency (ZIF) and near-zero intermediate frequency (NZIF) operation. The architecture provides a down-conversion segment, and a local oscillator segment operatively associated with the down-conversion segment. An analog-to-digital conversion (ADC) segment is adapted to receive signals from the down-conversion segment and introduce the signals into a digital intermediate frequency (DIF) construct. The DIF construct performs a DC offset compensation or DC residue filtering on NZIF-based signals, and droop or mismatch compensation. Image removal is performed on NZIF-based signals, and DC offset compensation is performed on ZIF-based signals. Compensated signals are amplified to some nominal or desired level, and interpolation filtering of the amplified signals is performed prior to transmission thereof.
